The Survivalists Metal Ignot guide – Mining

Finding the right Rock / Node

You will need 3 different minerals, and they are easy to locate once you learn to identify the rocks:

• Metal ingots ( Iron): Rocky nodes with silver ore.
• Gold ingots: Rocky nodes with golden nuggets.
• Gems: – Rocky nodes with red stones/lava.

Best Biome

The best biome to find Metal ignots, gold ignots and also gems, is the Volcanic biome. And there are more nodes / rocks to mine inside the caves

You can find metal, gold or gems in other biomes, but they are rare to find and usually contain less quantity. And yes, volcanic biomes are deadly, so you need to learn to survive if you want to farm these precious minerals

Farming in Volcanic Biome

1st method – Elixir: The Elixir makes you immune. Refill the elixir with a cooking pot & boiling clean water. Complete the Mysterious Stranger’s 2nd taks to get an Elixir

2nd method – Monkeys: Use the Train Command, mine the first node / rock and give the pickaxe to the monkeys
